Main Article Content
Introduction: partial or total tooth loss is a common condition in the global population, which can have an impact on occlusion, nutrition and quality of life. Tooth loss continues to be a reality despite advances in dental treatments.
Objective: To characterize the dental loss of patients who attend teaching-service clinics in the City of Cali.
Methods and materials: Observational, descriptive cross-sectional study. 105 patients were included during a period of 6 months who attended the different dental services in the teaching service clinics. Sociodemographic characteristics, the presence of systemic diseases, the cause of tooth loss, the type of edentulism and whether previous edentulism were present were recorded. The case of tooth loss was defined in individuals with 1 or more missing teeth. A descriptive analysis of the frequency distributions and measures of central tendency and dispersion for the qualitative and quantitative variables respectively, bivariate analysis with contingency tables and statistical test of association was carried out. All in the statistical software R studio.
Results: A dental loss of 273 teeth was recorded in 105 patients, with an average age of 47 years (Std. SD ± 18.0) between 16 and 80 years. It was more frequent in women 18 (57%) than in men (43%), 46% reported some systemic disease. The main cause of tooth loss was dental caries (23.8%) and periodontitis (18.1%). The third molar was the most extracted (30.7%) and the canine (12.4%). The least common was the second premolar (7.3%). According to the life cycle, in adolescence and youth (12.3%) the main cause was the impacted tooth, in adulthood it was caries (14.28%) and in old age it was periodontitis (9.52%).
Conclusion: Tooth loss in a teaching clinic service was more frequent in women, it occurred at any age and in any tooth in adult patients and the main causes were caries and periodontitis. Given that there was a high frequency of tooth loss, it is important to identify the associated factors so that more preventive and non-invasive treatments can be done from academia, contributing to the long-term survival of teeth in patients.
